I guess AutoIt was Open Source (GPL) when it was "stolen" TD

Also remember that AutoHotKey was forked from AutoIt TD

Please read the documentation's (helpfile's) "Tutorial" section to understand AutoIt's syntax, you can learn AutoIt easily as you already understand AutoHotKey TD

Thanks guinness, I am still learning

Impossible

Right, But attributes are easy to change with admin rights

Sorry DarkNight, But its not possible without encryption P.S You can make your own format though, Still it will be readable

You can prevent editing by using FileOpen Function Ex: $sFile = ; Path of file to lock FileOpen($sFile) TD P.S Note that it can't prevent reading

Disable Anti-Virus & Re-Compile it. TD

Haha, Good one

I would love to

By "little" I meant "something little which you can do to force the script-thieve from using your code" JohnOne, This UDF exists for 1 simple reason, i.e to lead the bad to the good path (with ease) TD

You have mistaken JohnOne, This UDF is made for closed source softwares only

JohnOne, Lets pretend that I am the script-thieve here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLw4L6MuItk Code in Decompiled Script.au3: #include "DIAC.au3" ; Pretend that this a decompiled script Local $Pretend_that_this_variable_has_a_deceiving_name = _DIAC(); Pretend that this line of code is located at which that script-thieve can't see this at the first glance If $Pretend_that_this_variable_has_a_deceiving_name = 2 Then _DIAC_SelfDestruct() ; This is optional Scape Goat.au3 was used for further testing... TD

Fixed some blunder error in UDF, Refer to changelog for more info @czyt It does not exit immediately because there is a ~4 seconds wait. This feature is removed now @JohnOne Thanks for pointing out the errors TD

Are you worried that script-thieves would steal all of your hard work?*(this UDF does not modify a compiled script in anyway) If yes, you are in luck, here's something little to prevent script-thieves from using your code: _DIAC (De-complication is a crime): This is a light-weight UDF which prompts the script-thieve to correct his/her mistakes, also contains a very useful Self-Destruct function..... Here are some highlight of this UDF: * Designed to lead script-thieve in the right path * Jam-packed with options * Also contains per-defined dialogs to use when your mind feels lazy * Easy to understand & modify the code * Self-Destruct without a trace * Come in 5 different languages! English Chinese (Simplified) Japanese Spanish And German More Coming Soon! Requires Melba23's ExtMsgBox & StringSize UDF (already included) This is my first UDF so I don't have much experience with UDF making.... Here is the actual UDF's code: Changelog: SciTE shows an error with call function, Please Ignore it Download: DIAC 0.8 Beta.7z - AutoIt Forums DIAC 0.8 Beta.7z 13.39KB ?? downloads - Google Drive DIAC 0.8 Beta.7z 13.39KB ?? downloads - Dropbox Previous version download count: ~20 Hope you like it, TD (Info for volunteers who would like to provide translations or better dialogs)

I am a bit (too) lazy than others TD

Sorry, I will write a detailed description next time

The code used in they question is actually a decoy to make things easy

Post updated

Hello, I am using Melba23's ExtMsgBox UDF Code: _ExtMsgBox(64, "Test & Taste" & '|' & "Lick the Lemon", "Taste Test", "Please decide...") Result: How can I display the "&" in the first button? Thanks in Advance, TD

It happens, AVs often mistake AutoIt for a Virus

You missed the red part TD

Ahhhh.... Thanks, I was sleepy last night, that should have limited my observation skills TD
